The Plastic Scale Modeling Hour – Eduard Models – Ep#23

WARBIRD RADIO – Joining us this week on The Plastic Scale Modeling Hour LIVE from the Czech Republic is Eduard Models, Chairman-Vladimir Sulc.

Eduard Model Accessories was formed in 1989 in the basement of co-owner Ctirad Kuraks house in Most, Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic). Two years previous, Mr. Kurak and Vladimir Sulc had started making photo etch for themselves and had decided that it was possible to sell to shops, so in 1990 the first photo etch, a 1/48th scale Su 25K, was produced for sale.

Today, Eduard is one of, if not the largest producer of aftermarket Photo Etched and Resin accessories. They are also known for their excellent scale model kits.

Rumor has it we’ll have some special items in the Door Prize vault from Eduard, so you won’t want to miss catching this episode!

Thanks for the great show. It’s always interesting to hear modelers from around the world, and to put a personal note to an international hobby. Hope to put a face to the voice when I go to the Nationals this year in Orlando.

Really enjoyed the show. Thank you Hawkeye for asking my question about the pin marks to Vlad. I was happy to hear about his approach to keeping them to a minimum on Eduard kits. Also Thank you Martin on discussing some of those ideas about the Mirco printing. Always enjoy the products Eduard puts out.

Just finished listening to show #23 as podcast on my iPod as I work on an old Matchbox 1:72 Hawker Tempest II and an Italeri Skyhawk in the same scale. Great interview with Vladimir, and great to hear my question about potential kit subject selection answered. Keep up the amazing work with your kits, Vladimir and team, and thanks to Hawkeye as always for a very entertaining and informative show. Bring on DrawDecals next week! :-)

So looked forward to listening live, unexpected overtime ruined that, thanks for making it available on iTunes! Incredible show and psyched to hear about the turnout! Eduard is an amazing company and hearing Vladimir was awesome!

Hi Gerald, exceptional show and what a refreshingly honest guest. Many businesses could take a leaf from Vladimir’s book regarding understanding the market, the importance of his skill base and the threats and opportunities going forward. No doubt that Eduard is in great hands.
